A rant of sorts about ice making. Eyes glazing over? Go here for a cool pic or here for cute kittens.
First off a public apology to Aaron and the entire Plainfield curling club. Sorry for besmirching your ice, I would never do that and actually didn't no matter what the rumors are saying.
Anyway, back to the topic. Seems I control the universe that is the GNCC. Pretty cool huh. Whatever I say goes. So everyone should donate $10,000 to Pittsburgh so they can build a club and 32 teams should sign up for the Golden Handle next year. Okay, now that is out of the way.
There is an email chain floating around that I have decided that all GNCC clubs should send their scraper blades for sharpening to Winnipeg and not Southern Ontario. I won't mention the firms involved. Uh yeah, not really. This grew out of an idea that was floated at the ice tech clinic last fall. Why not save on shipping by gathering blades and sending them in bulk. Great idea. So, where should they go? Well the firm in Ontario was in turmoil so rather than take a chance, send them to Winnipeg. That is what is happening. Nothing sinister, no hidden agenda, just trying to get blades sharpened.
Seems the firm in Ontario got wind of this somehow and have claimed that I am controlling the entire GNCC ice making world. {sarcasm} No blades can ever go to Ontario, they eat junior curlers and sharpen blades with rocks {/sarcasm}.
So, if you hear a rumor that I control the GNCC it is true. As such, I expect each club to send someone to us to scrape our ice every day. And I will win every bonspiel that I enter next year, you will lose any game played against me on purpose.
Later,

King of the GNCC

To paraphrase Pulp Fiction "When you ice guys get together it's worse than a sewing circle!"
WV = "pacriest" as in "The ice gets all pacriest down the middle which is why you have a fall off the center line".
How many years has it been since I first warned you to be careful what you wished for?
Oh, and since I can't seem to remember ever losing to you, I may have to get a copy of your schedule and come out of retirement just to challenge that last thought.
Naaaa. Never mind.
